Felix = Clemens and Lincecum = Pedro in that scenario.
Most people would take the horse Clemens (Felix) if given their due over the added risk of little-guy Pedro (Lincecum), but noting that Clemens was apparently roiding out his eyeballs in his last several years it makes comparing Roger to anyone a little suspect.
And it makes the divide between him and Pedro smaller.  Also, wanting Roger's 20+ year career that much more only makes sense if you get to enjoy all of it.  If Felix is still doing this at the end of his contract then we're not keeping him.  He'll be wearing pinstripes.
So offering me 5 years of Felix or 5 years of Tim then narrows the gap on their differences, that's all.
And I'd just have liked to overlap Felix and Lincecum.  Though I'll note that Felix seems to like being staff ace.  His shaky months were the ones he was playing second fiddle to Lee. Maybe it's coincidence. He definitely seems to take that role seriously though.  I don't see him being happy being CC's 2nd fiddle, for instance.
This being HIS team as a pitcher is something he looks to be proud of.  So pack it with excellent #2s and give the man some hitters already.
